G/A again . . ?

Again, we have this subject, will no one (A320) heed my pleading call . . ?


(which is) Assume you are going around in an A320, at night, Temp+10 degrees Weight 62tons. and Select 190kts and keep F1, level at G/A altitude, stay Selected and drive yourself around the circuit/circle/procedure/to the hold/back on the approach/or atc/ whatever to put you back into the approach . . .slot - bringing the speed back to 180 when level since you have retained your F1 on the flaps.


Versus


Toga, still in Nav G/A - - - - where does this take you - whats your speed, where did that speed come from? I am sure there is an SOP for a G/A but in Automatic City, what is it? How many of you do the whole thing in Selected (whether manual or A/P)? Is it horses for courses, meaning - can Captain A do it his way and Captain B do it her way? - as both ways being equally effective and safe.
